No matter what angle you look at it, the BMW M2 is one good looking coupe.

To give us a better look, the German automaker took its newest sports car to its natural habitat: the race track. Flexing its muscles at the iconic Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, BMW also took the time to take some snaps around scenic Monterey, California.

The result is a gallery filled with stunning photos, even some involving the BMW M2 going sideways.

Powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, the BMW M2 boasts 365 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque while weighing only 3,295 pounds. All that put together equates to a zero-to-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds. Best of all? It has a manual transmission, something that is slowly becoming an afterthought with some automakers.

That first one posted here is a really good shot. The smoke from the tires, seeing the driver, the streaks on the pavement which show movement. Very nice.

I disagree with the title. Mine would read: At certain angles, the BMW M2 is one good looking coupe.


And, that 3295 weight figure is a Euro version. Here in the states, it's a mere 25 lbs. lighter than an M4.

Even if the M2 was ugly... all you would need to do is drive it fast enough and it will look good
